The week after the 'B' show features the voice of a frequent guest host except it is not that guy. Sounding a lot like David Perry is Lon Thomas of KIIS Los Angeles doing the 9/27/80 show. Mentioned both Micheal McDonald era Doobies top 10 hits as part of lists of songs. "What a Fool Believes" was part of a list of some of the 45 top 40 song titles with 'fool' in their title, before "Who'll Be the Fool Tonight" and in the intro to "Real Love", he mentioned the six songs in the countdown with 'love' in their title. He Likes giving out these lists of songs. Another six pack was the songs with night or some reference to it in their titles like "Late in the Evening". My fave of those was the highest ranked one, "Give Me the Night".

Well it is still possible they could air 10/27/84 - although likely slim, even though Premiere can surprise us. There are 27 "new" 80's "(A)" shows in 2016. I believe there has been 21 "new" A shows aired so far. There are only 7 possible unaired shows remaining according to at40fg.proboards.com/thread/2842/premiere-programs-played?page=3&scrollTo=72881. Since two of the shows are 12/20/86 & 12/27/86, there is a good chance that 10/27/84 will be aired this year. I was just thinking - back in 2009, they ran the second halves of the 1982 and 1986 year-end shows. Therefore, the first halves of the year-end 1982 and 1986 shows are technically "new", so that could be one of the unaired shows for this year if they chose to go with one of them, so it is possible that 10/27/84 is not on deck this year. However, I have a feeling that it is because they opted to run the 1984 show the weekend of 10/1 even though it's closer in date to the following weekend. That would make for a spread of four weeks, as someone else mentioned earlier. It could be one of the other un-aired shows this year that is eliminated if they are planning on putting on the 1982 or 1986 YE show and counting the first half as a "new" show. I'm kind of hoping not, especially since I've heard all of the full year-end shows of the 1980s several times and they wouldn't be "new" to me. As for the remaining shows not played 10/10/81 - This one will probably be put on the weekend of 10/8. That might also be one of the reasons that they opted to run the 1984 show this coming weekend. 10/27/84 - 10/29 11/22/80 - 11/20 11/30/85 - 11/27 12/20/86 - 12/18 12/28/85 - 12/25 12/27/86 - We just might hear this one at the end of 2017. Perhaps, sometime in early 2017, AMFMDX could chime in and tell us how many new shows there are going to be that year. I have a strong suspicion that the number of new shows by the end of that year will be able to be counted on one hand.

AMFMDX might also lend insight into why 1987 AT40 shows after mid-1987 are passed on ... while today's "KOKZ Top 10 at Noon" featured Sept 26, 1987's top 10? Including the rarely heard spoken-word prologue (which -- and I'm a guy -- I thought was awfully creepy) to Michael Jackson's "I Just Can't Stop Loving You."

Brian Yeah that's a little curious...I had just assumed that late '87 was outside of their bailiwick. As for the talking part in "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", that's a lot of the reason why I can't stand that song. MJ decided to release (by far) the worst of his singles on each of the Thriller and Bad LPs with the leadoff single.

It's odd that they would play the top 10 from 9/26/87 while refusing to play AT40 from that exact same week (they did air 9/20/80 instead, as well as 9/23/78). Maybe they had already selected their top 10 show (do they feature any later years?) and thought that also playing that week's AT40 would be redundant, but Casey's show did have 30 other hit songs.
Regarding MJ, it may or may not be a coincidence that he led off those albums with "The Girl Is Mine" and "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", both duet ballads that quickly scaled the charts based on name recognition, but faded rather fast when succeeded by the more memorable "Billie Jean" and "Bad".

Agree with you totally on the first two singles from "Bad", but would argue that "The Girl Is Mine" spent a normal amount of time on the charts for a #2-peaking single at that time (18 weeks). "Billie Jean" charted more than two months after "The Girl Is Mine", while "Bad" was released as a singe barely a month after "I Just Can't Stop Loving You".

Just took a 'sneak peak' at the upcoming show (10/6/84) and if you like obscure oldies as I do, the first hour is a good one: Three of the first four songs peaked at the positions they are at--37,39,and 40. And I really don't recall any of them!

Right now, 1987 is the latest year. They did go back to 1972 in August, but generally 1973 is their earliest year in the rotation. Then again, when KOKZ's range was 1980-1994 for the Top 10 at Noon -- and this was an era when there were no "B" shows -- they did (grudgingly) play 1970 AT40s when offered. I thought it was unusual, but great nonetheless when they'd play Melissa Etheridge's "Come To My Window" and then segue into the AT40 from 1970, featuring all those songs that oldies stations still might or might not play.

Prediction for next week's show: October 10, 1981 Back-up: October 11, 1986
I wouldn't be surprised if those two shows were paired together next week, with '81 as the A show and '86 as the B show.

If they're going to be running six more new shows, I'd say that the 10/10/81 show is a given (unless, of course, they're running either the 82 or 86 YE and consider it new on a technicality that I mentioned the other day).

Prediction for next week's show:
1st Guess - 10/10/81 2nd Guess - 10/9/82
So the last couple weeks have thrown me, but 1981 certainly seems like the front-runner for next week. I believe it would be the first airing for this show, and the last yet-unplayed October 1981 show. The 2nd choice would be 1982--this show was last aired in 2011...

After one week of a nice, clear, unbroken stream, WWIS has reverted to their old tricks: Lots of momentary dropouts, some longer ones, plus one can hear their FM stream 'bleeding in' at a very low volume in the background. Oh well...
